George Emil Odthermat was born in 1966 in Romania and today lives in Germany. He has a Ph.D. in Education and has done additional studies in Photography. His recent exhibitions include Do7 Insight - Outlook, Polarities - Art and Healing and Boundless at Present at K22. Odthermat's mesmerizing photographs display a delicate subtlety although the subject often stares intently back into the viewer's soul. His smoothly treated surfaces and juxtaposed exposures result in intricate compositions that reflect a purposeful process and meticulous decision-making.
